HOSPITALS

Our window cleaning experience in the health sectorNowhere is maintaining an image of cleanliness more important than it is in hospitals.

We’re experienced hospital window cleaners. We understand the need to timetable cleaning to minimise disruption on-site, and will liaise with you to achieve this. We also operate a thorough customer satisfaction reporting programme, so that you can ensure that we do an excellent job across your various departments.

LOCAL AUTHORITIES

Our window cleaning experience for local authorities
There are few organisations that have as many or as diverse a range of windows as councils.

Our work with local authorities is about having the flexibility to adapt how and when we work to provide a cost-effective and high quality cleaning service across a variety of different buildings.

How do you work with local authorities?
We understand that, for a local authority, it’s important to know that window cleaning will be carried out safely, efficiently and to a pre-agreed timetable. We work hard to ensure that’s exactly what you get.
You might like to read our How We Work and Health and Safety pages to get a better feel for the level of planning you can expect, the emphasis we place on keeping our staff and members of the public safe, and our processes for ensuring you’re happy with the work we undertake.

Do you have the capabilities to clean windows across our varied property portfolio?
Yes. We’ve been in business for almost 90 years. During that time, we’ve cleaned windows on just about any type of building you can name. So whether it’s civic offices, leisure centres, sports facilities or tourism offices, you can trust that we’ve probably done it before.

Facilities Management Companies

Our window cleaning experience for facilities management companies
We offer a reliable, professional window cleaning service for facilities management companies. We draw upon our longstanding experience to provide a range of cleaning options that is as diverse as your portfolio.

Can we trust you to clean the windows at the properties we manage?
Certainly. We’ve been cleaning windows on commercial properties for decades. In that time, we’ve tackled projects of all scales and sizes, so we’re a safe pair of hands for any facility you manage.

How do you work with facilities management companies?
Experience tells us that one of the most important things is communication, both with your company and any stakeholders on site. We find that explaining our health and safety management systems, work processes and customer satisfaction guarantees in advance ensures that everyone knows the job will be completely to a high standard, safely and on-time.

Can you work to our strict timetables?
Absolutely. The planning process and risk assessment we complete before starting any job includes getting information from you about the safest and most convenient time for us to work. We’ll then tailor our programme of works to ensure we work at those times and meet any deadlines you might have.
